POSTED 9:08 p.m. EDT, August 30, 2007NEW NFL LOGO LOOKS GREAT
Michael McCarthy of USA Today reports that the National Football League is changing its logo. The new version will debut in April 2008, at the draft.
Smart-alecks in the crowd might ask whether the new logo will feature an orange jumpsuit with the letters N, F, and L spray-painted on it through a stencil. (Since we're not smart-alecks, it's not a question we'll be asking.)
Actually, the new logo is a subtle tweaking of the current version. And we think it looks great.
The new design has eight stars -- one for each of the NFL divisions. We also like the 3-D feel of the football, in contrast to the 2-D version on the current logo, which has always reminded us of the foam cut-out with the slits in each end that came with the old Tudor electric football game.
Lisa Baird, the NFL's senior vice president of marketing, said that the new logo will "pop" better on television broadcasts, and will show up better on cellphones, laptops, iPods, and PDAs.
